The other arm runs free monthly workshops for vulnerable five to 12-year-olds.

The charity’s work was mainly funded by the Government’s Disadvantage Subsidy Fund.

The fund was given to poor families so they could afford after school activities. However the fund was cut 2011.

Martin Butcher from Bournemouth Council said: “The Fund has since, in effect, been replaced by the Pupil Premium fund which is allocated to schools directly from the government to support low
income families in a range of activity.”

The next Creative Kids event, which is for five to 12-year-olds is on Saturday, May 19, in Boscombe’s Sovereign Centre, from 10am to 4pm.
